The Big Win: Relationship-Driven Strategic Partnerships
summary
Builds studios around measurable relationships that produce concrete deliverables: 6 projects across 6 platforms in a year, an Xbox One port of Rocket League plus a PS4 Pro update and Switch ports for Hob and Torchlight II. Claims teams grow people to deliver 1.5–2.5x higher quality than larger teams, uses cross‑platform porting, middleware and automation (Maya/Max scripts, Python/MEL), and warns of real costs—exhaustion, more rejected deals, and strict confidentiality.
